So, Yes, I have noticed a BIG CHANGE across the board! Can't wait to see who I am when I reach my goal! :)
I used to be perpetually in some baggy top that hid my hips, or something with a longer jacket. Pants absolutely could only be "relaxed fit". The few things I've bought recently, I've noticed that I'm looking for closer fits, and of the stuff I have left that I can now get back into - it has to satisfy much harsher requirements for fit than it did before.
Am also rediscovering those extra few minutes of bliss in the morning with pre-shower skin brushing ... wow! Also went to dermatologist too - to have a couple of pigment spots burned off my cheekbones that came on when I was pregnant.
And ... there is definitely something improved in the energy level around here - I'm no longer willing to leave something around that needs to be fixed. It's either getting fixed, or it's getting pitched. Freecycle.org has seen a LOT of action from me lately! :)
ive waived bye bye to sweats and yoga pants and am starting to enjoy shopping again. i still have a ways to go, but im noticing a boost in my confidence. im also seeing that i feel more sexy and less self conscious in the bedroom.
its fun isnt it??
Same here! I also have a way to go, but I"m already more picky about what I wear...much more. Before, it was just a question of what looks the least hideous...what won't cause me too much pain (too tight). Now, it's a lot more about how stylish it is and how flattering it is.
I also have started blowing out my hair and putting in curls. I have NEVER EVER curled my hair so I watched a "how to" video online and now, I do it a few times a week.
I'm moisturizing my skin also and wearing make up almost every single day. I love to buy make up because it always fits. ;)
I can't wait until I lose more weight so I can look even better in my clothes. I just can't wait! :)
Yes! I take my time to look for clothes that will flatter my figure instead of just grabbing something that fits and just looks okay.
I got my hair done for my sister's wedding a week ago and LOVED the way it came out. Now I've taken to curling my hair. =)
Absolutely! I've never been a "girly girl", but I'm spending far more time on me stuff now than I ever have before.
And money. But that's another story. I never realised weight loss could be so expensive. Not the weight loss per se. But the "gorgeous little sundress I have to have", or the new pair of running shoes, or ...
I've actually always been into looking very fashionable. I love have cute, funky hair-do's, artsy-funky clothes, and the sexiest boots.
I expect, though, as I lose weight, I'll have more options to expand my fashion creativity. And it will be easier to get the looks I want to achieve.
I am totally right there with you LMR. Just today I bought a super cool and bohemian scarf and hat set--they are in great colors--so cool and yep, SO my style. I am wearing funky clogs, long, thin, fitted and layered pieces--funky jewelry and low-rise Lucky's. I also like layering thin pieces under fitted blazers and wearing heels with them. I also love the big handbags right now--I bought a new one yesterday at AGACI--black patent with big silver buckes. I also bought a huge set of Estee Lauder makeup yesterday with a perfume set too. Yay! I love this fun.
